History
Enerjet was originally formed in 2006 by a small group of entrepreneurs addressing what they perceived to be a gap in the service provided by Canada's major airlines, WestJet and Air Canada, in "Middle Canada". When planned it was known as NewAir and Tours until 20 October 2008 when NewAir and Tours revealed their name and corporate logo to be styled as Enerjet. Enerjet was founded by nine individuals including Tim Morgan, former WestJet Senior Vice-President. On 28 November 2008, Enerjet received an Air Operators Certificate (AOC) and Air Operators Licence issued by the Canadian Transportation Agency.
FlyToo
FlyToo is a temporary placeholder name for a proposed subsidiary of Enerjet, that anticipates starting operations when adequately capitalized. It is expected to be an Ultra Low Cost Carrier (ULCC) airline, with extra fees for services like checked or carry-on baggage. They will target Canadians who travel via U.S. airlines or are infrequent flyers. The airline has difficulty because the law says 75% of financing and ownership must be Canadian, laws made to help Air Canada, in addition to predatory behavior by Air Canada and Westjet, according to the CBC. On November 3rd 2016, Transport Minister Marc Garneau approved the request by Enerjet for exemption from current foreign ownership rules, which allowed the airline to access necessary capital in order to begin operations.
Fleet
Enerjet operates the Boeing 737-700 aircraft for their routes. The first of two aircraft was painted in the Enerjet livery on the 20 October 2008.
